Bettman says he’s okay if you want to bring back the rule against forward passes, he doesn’t mind if you want to revert to old-school icing, he just demends you keep it to one rule change; you know, evolution is better than revolution…
What rule are you changing, tweaking, binning or creating.
I actually really like this idea in theory. It’s far too easy for a team to make a game saving play in the final seconds by slashing the stick away, or taking a guys legs. This would actually allow some pushback in those instances. I say we make it happen.
Pretty glaring oversight in the current rules, isn’t it?
